Defining Custom Paper Sizes
To print custom paper sizes, define the custom width and length of the paper in the
print driver software and on the printer control panel. When setting the paper size, ensure
that you specify the same size as the paper in the tray. Setting the wrong size paper can
cause a printer error. Print driver settings override control panel settings when you print
using the print driver software on your computer.
Creating and Saving Custom Paper Sizes in the Print Driver
You can print custom-size paper from any paper tray. Custom-size paper settings are
saved in the print driver and are available for you to select in all your applications.
For detail on supported paper sizes for each tray, refer to Supported Custom Paper Sizes.
